Two young Mexican women have hailed as heroes after risking their lives to protect and rescue young campers as flash floods on the 4th of July led to campsites along the Guadalupe River being deluged and fears for the worse.

Silvana Garza Valdez and Maria Paula Zárate, both 19, were working at a neighboring camp site when survivors from Camp Mystic were ushered to their location.
